Features

==========================

* Automatically creates a new alias for you

* The aliases can be stored in a file of your choice (soon!)

* List all previously created aliases (soon!)


Installation

==========================

Please note that this app only works on unix based systems! (It may work with unix shell emulators however)

* Download the a jar file from the **Releases** tab and place in any directory

* Enter the following command, replacing _dir_ with the path to the current directory


```

$ alias mkalias='java -jar dir/MkAlias.jar'

```

Usage

==========================

* Enter the following command, replacing _name_ with the alias name and _command_ with the command it should execute (You'll have to surround it with speech marks if the command contains spaces).

```

$ mkalias name command

```


* Now start a new bash session or reload your *.bash_profile* file. You will now be able to use the alias!
